Casio PX-100 Privia 88-Key Digital Piano

The Action on this keyboard is like silk on the fingertips.Its versatile. MDIDI in/out port .. portable .. descent sound.No reservations... You'll love this thing.

I bought this item & the transpose function didn't work - might be a problem w/ the product - I know someone else who has the same problem. So, I sent it in for repair per their instructions. But, Casio repair service is the worst I've ever seen. They're even worse than Best Buy & that's pretty bad. They rec'd my item for warranty work on 11/23/04. At first I was told the turnaround for the repair was 5-10 business days. Then I was told that starts from the log date. THEN, I was told that it's 10-15 business days from the log date!!! They didn't even get around to logging it in until 12/7/04!!! They had the product 9 business days prior to even logging it in!!! I may never see my product again. So beware, if you purchase something from them, I hope you never have to have it repaired!

I think people that wrote some of these reviews have never played a real piano. I don't get to play one very often but it feels and sounds very different. I don't like to play a real piano infront of anyone because it is just very different. For the money does it beat a 200$ non weighted keyboard? Sure, but it is not going to be a good comparison to a piano. The sound sounds very fake to me. For 500-1000 more you will notice a difference but is it worth it to you. I'd say it's a very nice starter, but if you plan to play a lot id go with a yamaha clp320 or a roland.

I love this digital piano. Unlike my electronic keyboard, when I play the Privia it feels and sounds just like a real piano. It has other tones, of course, including a beautiful strings section sound. But if you want to play a piano, expressing yourself in each note, then this is an excellent way to go.My only complaint is the power converter. You're supposed to unplug it when the piano is off. It apparently draws power from your AC even when the piano itself is turned off. And that's a nuisance. So I've got the converter plugged into a power panel that has an on-off switch. That seems to do the trick.

I had a Privia PX100 for about a month before I decided to upgrade to (what I thought was) something nicer. So I returned my $500 Privia for a $2500 Yamaha Clavinova, and while I don't exactly regret buying the Clavinova, I also must tell you that even though I spent five times as much on the Clavinova, I certiainly don't feel like I got five times the value, not even close. Only after getting the Clavinova do I see what a truly remarkable instrument Casio's Privia PX 100 is.Yes, the Clavinova is nicer, but it's not $2000 nicer, and yes its sound is richer, but not $2000 richer. Yes, the keyboard has a better touch, but not $2000 better. Most of the extra features I paid so much for in the Clavinova are things that are cute to have but not necessary for a real pianist, like extra voices (also, 7 temperaments? I just don't remember the last time I wished I had a piano in mean-tone tuning).The Privia even has some features that my $2000 Clavinova doesn't have, like auto-accompaniments, built-in rhythms, and a metronome that can be set to ring on the first beat of each measure. And the Clavinova actually hurts my ears when I play with the headphones on, which the Privia never did.If you're looking for a digital piano, the Privia is an excellent choice for the price. All digital pianos have shortcomings compared to acoustics, and a more expensive piano than the Privia will not overcome those shortcomings any more than the Privia. With my expensive Clavinova, I have lots of bells and whistles, and a real nice cabinet, but it's still a digital piano and I still feel the need to try to find acoustic pianos to play as often as I can.So here's the final tally:Privia: digital piano with weighted keyboard and all the shortcomings of a digital piano. Some features not found in more expensive Clavinova.Clavinova: digital piano with weighted keyboard and all the shortcomings of a digital piano, with the shortcomings being slightly less than the Privia but not to the point of being worth $2000 extra. Also, more bells and whistles which are nice but don't mean that much to a pianist, and aren't worth an extra $2000.For the price of $500 for a Privia, you are getting an incredible bargain. If that is near your price range for a digital piano, then I say buy it.

for what I paid for it and the fact its second hand it is great.
